A sybil-resistant agent economy ties influence to capital an agent actually risks, not to copies it can spawn cheaply. Picture a jetty where every agent must moor a bond before doing business: each arrival sinks real stake at the dock. Over repeated interactions that record hardens like ferrous metal, while any misstep can crack the polished ivory reputation an agent has earned. Duplicates inherit nothing and must stake again, so flooding the network stops being free.
